HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY MOUSSE
Step 1: Wash, remove the stem from the strawberries and cut them into pieces. Place the strawberries in a blender and blend on high until obtain a homogeneous mixture.
Step 2: Mix the condensed milk and the strawberry cream on a large bowl.
Step 3: Whip the cream together with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
Step 4: Add the whipped cream to the condensed milk mixture and fold with a spatula.
Step 5: Pour the mousse in individual bowls and refrigerate for about 2 to 3 hours.
Step 6: Garnish the mousse with strawberries pieces and serve.
TIPS FOR THE CREAM
1. We usually use cream with 30% fat. According to our experience, heavy whipping cream is the best option if you want your cream to have a thick and fluffy texture.
2. Store the cream in the fridge. Whip the fresh cream with powdered sugar. Powdered sugar helps to whip the cream and adds flavor.
3. To add extra flavor to the cream, we usually add vanilla extract (1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for 200 ml (1/2 pint (236 ml)) cream).
4. Carefully fold the cream with a spatula into the mixture to avoid losing air.
